  1. No one setting is better than another. It might be hard for some to understand, but there's a reason why these options exist. It's always good for people to show case what the pro and cons of the setting.

  2. I use standard and the way I move backward out of an aoe is I turn my camera 90 degress by holding right click, and then pressing either a or d to move left or right (when you're holding right click, your turn keybinds automatically change to strafe keybinds).

  3. I use standart controls for several reasons.
    1: 20+ years of playing games with the setup and most other games using it. And retraining my muscle memory for just on game is just too much.
    2: I find legacy controlls disorientating, at least with mouse and keyboard.
    3: I value movement and camera being independent from each other higher then faster backwards movement

  4. It would be great if you found a way to chapter the video, so individuals can quickly look for the setting they want advice on!
    No, you're not weird, you're based for doubleweaving on the same button @16:50 Even better is to hire assistance from your local internet technician so they can hook up your internet for high-speed, 0-latency connection, making double-weaving even easier!

  5. I just plain hate the legacy movement option. I'm glad it's there for people who prefer it, but for me it's only ever caused problems, so it can be a little obnoxious and eye-roll worthy for me when a video has a thumbnail like this one's that says legacy movement is 'better' carte blanche. Take my click and my engagement, but it does feel like clickbait to me.

  6. In regards to moving backwards to avoid AoEs, there's a neat thing people playing on standard-movement use: hold right-click, turn the camera, and strafe out of the AoE.
    …i realize this sounds condescending- that isn't my intention, just wanna point out a way to avoid aoes without having to hold the move back key.

  7. 13:00 if i use this i still get the Error Sound and Message on screen.
    it only works for "target not in range" but not for "Invalid Target". Is there a Thing im missing? Pls help ^^

  8. The Unending Cutscenes in the Inn are limited as it doesn’t have every cutscene… I kind of wish it did, as I’d like to watch them. Thus I leave cutscenes on and if I want to skip them it’s just a button press for dungeons. But if I’m being honest I enjoy watching them.

  9. You can still backpedal on Legacy by holding ASD. Also, Legacy allows you to keep moving and use ranged attacks without turning around, which makes the kiting in solo deep dungeon easier.

  10. I prefer standard as i change direction of running with the mouse as you can snap into any direction instantly. Dont like classic , feels odd to me .
    Tab targeting in this game is rubbish, much prefer how it works in wow .
    /petsize all small ………. you are my god !
    Camera thing is useful for me as lalafel cannot look up !
